THE N W YORKER accelerator at Brookhaven-which had also been passed over the opposition of the Long Island Republicans. (Actual- ly, the votes Pike was referring to were cast against the omnibus appropriations bill, not against these specific parts of it.) Still another issue was a con test among six sites that were being con- sidered by the government for a two- hundred-billion-electron-volt pa r ti c I e accelerator, which was to cost three hundred and seventy-five million dol- lars and was expected to create sev- eral thousand jobs.
